I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 531

Shi Nuan felt that she had an extremely long dream. In the dream, she saw a man with a mask and an old woman. The old woman injected her with something, which made her fall into unconsciousness.

“Ahh!” Upon opening her eyes abruptly, all she could see was the white ceiling about her. She widened her eyes as various scenes flashed through her mind. The ceiling seemed different from that of the room she had been locked up in. Moreover, she could vaguely smell the scent of medicine. Am I in the hospital?

Turning her head around, she saw a shadow looming over her.

“Are you awake?” A clear yet tired voice sounded as a hand touched her forehead. She kept blinking her eyes and tried to clear her thoughts.

Finally, the warm touch on her forehead made her come back to reality. She stared at the man in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears. “Yan!”

She sat up from her bed and frantically wrapped her arms around Fu Chengyan’s waist tightly. Then, she buried her head in his embrace, unwilling to let go.

When Shi Nuan let out a scream earlier, Fu Chengyan had run to her side. The moment he saw her opening her eyes, his decadent heart came alive again. He embraced her, saying, “I’m sorry, May. It’s all my fault.”

“No.” Shi Nuan shook her head. “I knew you would come to rescue me. I knew it.” That was why she was not scared at all. She knew he would come for her at all costs.

Unbeknownst to her, her words made Fu Chengyan feel even more guilty. “It’s my fault, May. If I stayed with you, this would not have happened.”

“Yan, please don’t say that.” Pursing her lips, Shi Nuan pushed Fu Chengyan away and straightened her back. “Look at me. I’m fine!”

Despite saying so, she glanced at her belly instinctively before touching her own arm.

“Yan, how did you find me? How long have I been asleep?”

By then, the puncture in her arm was no longer visible. She was not sure what the old woman had injected her with before she fell unconscious. ”Yan, Shi Wei was the one who wanted to capture me on the day I called you from the hospital.”

“I know,” Shi Nuan responded hoarsely while he hugged her even tighter. A while later, just as Shi Nuan felt like suffocating from his hold, he loosened his grip. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

Shi Nuan shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“You should eat something, though.” Upon saying that, Fu Chengyan made a call to Su Shaoqing, asking him to come to check on her. After that, he called Zhou Zheng and told him to prepare some food.

Shortly after, Su Shaoqing came and checked on Shi Nuan. “Since she’s awake, it means there’s no big issue. To be safe, she should stay here for a few days for further observation.” Su Shaoqing looked at Fu Chengyan as he spoke.

As Fu Chengyan hesitated momentarily, Shi Nuan seemed to notice something was off.

“Is there anything wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Fu Chengyan lowered his voice while shaking his head calmly. “I’m just worried because you went missing for days. Listen to Shaoqing and stay here for a few more days, okay?”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan nodded as she shifted her gaze toward Su Shaoqing. “By the way, Shaoqing. My babies are fine, right?”

“Yes. You’re very healthy, and there’s nothing wrong with your babies!” Su Shaoqing looked at Shi Nuan earnestly, but his smile was a bit playful. “Listen, Chengyan nearly beat me to death because you won’t wake up! Nuan, don’t you think your husband is being too much? After all, I’m considered his brother-in-law, ain’t I?”

Amused by Su Shaoqing’s behavior, Shi Nuan burst into loud laughter. “That’s between you and Yan. It has nothing to do with me!”

“That’s enough!” Fu Chengyan displayed a helpless smile before glancing at Su Shaoqing. “We’ll stay in the hospital for a few more days then.”

“Oh, right!” Just then, Shi Nuan seemed to recall something. “How did you guys find me?”

“Why?” Fu Chengyan locked his eyes on her. “Is there anything you want to tell me?” Biting her lips, Shi Nuan pondered for a while. “Shi Wei didn’t kill Su Su. She came to me that day to argue with me because she wanted to take me away. However, it wasn’t her idea. I suspect that someone is using her. Nonetheless, the man in black didn’t take her after he took me away that day.”

“Yes, she’s with me now.” Fu Chengyan cleared Shi Nuan’s doubt. “Is there anything else?” “The man in black took me to a mansion, but they didn’t do anything to me and even gave me food and drinks. I also saw a man wearing a mask; the old woman calls him

Mr. J. I’ve talked to him, and he is the mastermind behind everything⁠—the Shi family’s incident, my grandfather’s death, and Huancheng’s shortfall. Regardless, I can’t figure out why he’s going after the Shi family, and why he captured me.” After all, he did not hurt her.

Touching her arm slightly, she added, “By the way, before I blacked out, the old woman injected something into my arm. I fainted after that.”

Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing exchanged looks. They had an idea about what had happened, but still, none of them said anything.

Indeed, what Shi Nuan recounted was similar to what they had found out. “The man was wearing a mask?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “Yes, he was wearing a mask made of silver. Plus, he used a voice changer when talking to me, so I couldn’t guess his identity. If he used a voice changer, could that mean he’s someone I know?”
